Johnson Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:25:02 +0000 http://www.stevecoursen.com/?p=132#comment-655 I continue to find your writing fascinating and the article on “The Economy of Writing” on the mark. I recently retired and now find that I can “eat” and “write” too.

I know I'm not the original author of that code, what I put in the blog entry was a clear cut and paste from somewhere else on the net. The original author probably was influenced by your module.

I actually adapted this from an IronPython cookbook recipe in the first place - so maybe it came from there.
